Environmental Education Center (EEC)
From Ecologic
The Environmental Education Center (EEC) is the former meeting space and base of operations for Ecologic. It was located in Sage 2410 before Ecologic was relocated due to space concerns by the School of Humanities Arts and Social Sciences. It was structured as a place where people can go to learn more about environmental issues as well as the club. Now Ecologic has a new EEC located in the games room of the student union. click EEC for more info.
Currently our supplies are being stored in the garage of the Union.
We used to have open hours in the EEC. At these times, anyone from the RPI community could stop by and inquire about all things ecological.

[edit] History
In the early 90s Ecologic received a grant to begin operating the Environmental Education Center, and we made a deal with H&SS to use that space as the location for the EEC. We were originally in a smaller room down the hall (~2417) and then we moved to 2410. Although the grant money has expired, we are still operating under the award of that grant and we have always been pretty popular with the students, faculty and community members.
Some years ago, a student named Pei-Ping Mo did an Undergraduate Research Project (URP) focused on organizing and promoting the EEC.[1] His results are comprehensive and interesting, and he left a number of documents for us to pick up where he left off. In the future we hope to encourage similar URPs, to better the EEC and the campus at large.
[edit] Future Research
We're interested in researching exactly how the EEC came to be.
If you look in the Archives drawer in the EEC computer desk there should be some information. There may also be some old files on the RPI website that you can find just by searching for anything with Ecologic or Environmental Education Center or EEC in it.
